This episode is a DIFFERENT type of episode, and you should be ready to heed the call when you hear it. We mean BUSINESS!!!
The music, the fascism, the Vice President, tha God, the OmNIcron, the news, the hate. We're very liberal. And we're changing the world. The Buddha said, "For he who has nothing, the world is filled with temptation. But for he who is tempted, nothing can stand in his way." How did they know I had a mouse inside my apartment? Buddha got a little dick.
Find out if YOU'RE a M.E.D. man! 2w2f is inspired by so many brave women, girls and men of color, and we share this inspiration with our spiritual sibling from another birthing person: he is radical, revolutionary, singer, poet, actor, author, anti-racist, ally and living threat to everything phony, commercial and tame, Henry Rollins. This episode is dedicated to his memory.

Put this in your earbuds, lay back and take a break with your eyes closed. You earned it, for all I know. Of course, "you earned it" is something we should never say, because the concept of EARNING is designed to support white supremacy. Everything was created to support white supremacy. We have to burn it down. AGAIN.
In the 11th episode of the 3rd season, these two discuss Joe Biden and how great he is, remind us how terrible Trump was, and delve into the most dangerous type of rage, which is the opposite of a beautiful kind of joy.
Black joy is a counteraction for the immense amount of pain black people must endure. As People of Color, and black people in particular, are literally hunted down like dogs in the street, lynched, terrorized, drawn and quartered, tarred and feathered, ridden out of town on a rail, stuck with the check, fined unnecessarily for parking violations they didn't commit... Now. More than ever. There is. A. Need. For black joy. Discover Black Joy with these 2 white guys in their 40's.
GET WITH IT. THE WORLD DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU ANYMORE. THE WORLD BELONGS TO US NOW. CUT YOURSELF.
Revolution is in the air. The poet Bob Dylan once sang, "How many roads must a man burn down before they call him a man?" He later reveals that the answer, just like revolution, "is blowin' in the wind." And if you lick your finger and stick it up there - and I don't mean stick it up there a little for like a second and a half, I mean STICK IT WAY UP THERE AND MOVE IT AROUND FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND KEEP IT UP there until your arm is tired -- you come up with the same answer: A LOT.
We talk about Rachel Levine, because that's his sweet girl. All kinda everything goin' on. Thank God Trump is OVA!
Trump is out of the so-called White House, and now Joe Biden is working hard to turn this ship around and sail towards Nirvana. We want EQUITY. BLACK LIVES! JAIL TIME for no-mask scofflaws. Stronger limits and tighter controls on internet disinformation. Time for Americans to shut-up, put on your damn mask and spread out all the resources and access to resources, into the communities where the communities who need them can ACCESS them and maybe, I don't know, not starve.
## 2W2F 03 003 THE STRUGGLE. THE JOY. THE VICTORY. THE COVID LONG-HAULER.
The previously-released episode was sabotaged by idiot Trump operatives who (LOL) thought they could STOP the TRUTH. Now, here's the episode with enhanced volume and clarity. SUCK IT, dummies!
As we decide what to do with the former President -- whose name shall not be spoken -- we narrow our eyes and take a look at Joe Biden, while anticipating a couple of the problems he just won't be able to solve, like the persistence of able-ism in the absurd tradition of clapping our hands together at the end of, well, anything. We also look forward to science returning to the forefront of pop culture, and we can't help but see a resurgence of shows like Caroline in the City, movies like "What the Bleep..." and authentic, culturally interesting and exotic music like we once got from The Buena Vista Social Club (original motion picture soundtrack) and David Byrne, once he freed himself from the cage of pop music stardom and allowed himself to FEEL the music he was truly meant to play, which was more of a Ricky Ricardo kind of feel. In the midst of all this looking forward, we also take a look back at a different time in New York City, the golden era of the late 1980's-1990's, before the city was ruined by squares and you could still worship your goddess to your heart's content at a real NYC foot glory hole. A great start for 2021 and Season 3!
You love your private property. But listen and learn how little you ACTUALLY own.
WHILE THE HOSTS OF 2W2F GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER, ENJOY THIS LESS ABSTRACT, LESS SARCASTIC, LESS MUSICAL BUT MORE DIRECT REPLACEMENT SHOW. IT'S THE SECOND EPISODE OF SO RIGHT, WITH PAT DIXON AND THOMAS PALADINO. IF YOU'D LIKE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK, PLS WRITE (and don't be a dick about it) PatDixonNYC@gmail.com 2W2F will return soon with new episodes and shit.
Joe Biden = Science Donald T---p = Racism Who would've ever thought that science would still be forced to battle it out with racism in 2020? But hey, that's wypipo, amiright? The hosts of 2W2F urge you all to REMAIN SAFE during this most important election. The safety of our democracy is at stake, but so is the safety of our health. Election safety hacks: 1. Avoid voting at the polls! Complete your ballot(s) at home and present them directly to a member of BLM/Antifa or your assigned ballot harvester. 2. Be prepared! Those who are protecting democracy by staking out polling centers to discourage those who would disrupt and destroy it, bring plenty of you-know-what to throw at you-know-who. 3. WEAR A MASK! SCIENCE!
We've seen our share of tears and revelled in the triumph of mass destruction of property in cities across the so-called United States in the name of our black brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, moms, pops, cousins, grandparents, in short, the extended black family for whom we toil, slave, chant and sing and in whose presence we bow and genuflect and stutter and pee our pants and quake and shit ourselves. 2020, a year of hard work, tears, dingbat stammering and shit in pants. And we did it all for them. We live to serve and we will hopefully someday serve in order to live, when our disenfranchised betters finally choke us into a deep and dreamless sleep. Joe Biden took the train, and he's running for president. Everyday. Forever.

If you're like me, your guilty pleasure is Hee-Haw. I have others, of course, but Hee-Haw is both the guiltiest and most pleasurable of them all. For a verified radical, soon-to-be street ready (once we have a vaccine), dyed-in-the-wool anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-colonial anarcho-abolitionist activist and hermit, you might think being a fan of the corniest hillbilly TV romp ever to lull the sheeple of America back into their capitalist slumber might be sort of, umm, PROBLEMATIC. Well, thanks to the lockdown, it hasn't. OMG, it's a disgrace what 45 has caused by being President during a time when, more than ever, it, umm, KIND OF matters who the president is. Not that there's ever a good time for an certified orangutan to be President, of course, but 2020 is a particularly bad year an orangutan President. Actually, it would be an upgrade. The good thing about this era, is that when faced with the worst leadership in the highest position in the federal government, so many governors and mayors have stepped up to pick up the slack. Dealing with an ongoing global pandemic is serious, and we can only be thankful that these quick-thinking women and men in local and state government knew it was up to them to seize unprecedented power to battle the unprecedented virus, and to keep that power for an unprecedented amount to time. All these unprecedented events might have been a little easier or wouldn't have come up with we weren't saddled with an UN-PRESIDENT! If 45 had his way, we'd all be shopping maskless, sitting side-by-side at concerts, movies and shows, dining in busy restaurants and, ugh, GOING TO WORK. His big smart idea to march millions of kids, teachers and teaching assistants, administrators, custodians (and more) straight back to school as if nothing happened where they would be all-but-certain to contract the deadly virus, setting off a series of spikes, then an unprecedented wave of cases that would have us back on the waiting lines for PPE, ventilators, hospital beds etc., none of which did he lift a finger to help locate, let alone provide, to Americans, instead opting to send shiploads of medical supplies to China (and most likely Russia) while sick patients lost critical hours, days and weeks, oftentimes getting well before help even came. Needless to say, our state and local officials know better and they are following the science, keeping us safe, and TAKING THEIR TIME. Someone tell 45 you can't use nuclear bombs to kill a virus. It's, umm, a little more complicated than that, uh-kay? Go watch your gorilla programs, we'll letcha know when Joe and Kammie are ready to move in!!!!!!!!
We're still here. In some ways, we're here-er than we've ever been before.
People are talking about the need for historic change, therefore there's no way we can have any sort of consistency in policy and shit like that. Welcome to 2020 -- AKA PERFECT VISION -- and I know WE 2 are seeing the world much more clearly. Put this show in your earbuds, sit back and enjoy this rare listening experience.
TO A LOT OF STUPID BOOTLICKERS, THIS WILL BE A CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT: COVID19 IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO THIS COUNTRY. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M SAYING THIS, THEN YOU'RE NOT 2 WOKE YET, ARE YOU? BEING SOME KINDA ANARCHO-COMMUNISTS (ALSO, I'VE EARNED A PURPLE BELT IN A DISCIPLINE OF KARATE WHICH, INVENTED BY ME, AS YET, HAS NO NAME) WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT IF PEOPLE COULD JUST GET A TASTE OF AWESOME LIVING WITHOUT THE TYPICAL HASSLES OF CAPITALISM, i.e. EARNING MONEY, HAVING A JOB, KEEPING A JOB, THEY WOULD LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF IT. ALL IT TOOK WAS THREE MONTHS OF GETTING PAID BY CREEPY UNCLE SAM TO WORK ON THEIR OWN PERSONAL PROJECTS, WAFT FARTS UP TO THEIR NOSES AND SCREAM OUT THE WINDOW FOR A MINUTE A DAY (THAT'S KEY) TO FINALLY CATCH UP TO US AND FINALLY START POPPING OFF, FINALLY. THANK THE EARTH MOTHER SPIRIT FOR THE VIRUS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT SOME OF OUR GOVERNORS AND MAYORS ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT TO DO AND HAD THE SACK TO TELL T---P WHERE TO STICK IT WHEN HE WANTED TO OPEN UP THE ECONOMY AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. CUOMO, DE BLASIO, MICHIGAN LADY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, KEPT US SAFE WHEN DONNY-BOY WANTED TO SEND US OUT TO CERTAIN DEATH, AND IN THE MEANTIME HOME-CONFINED PEOPLE STARTED WIGGIN' 'CAUSE THEY SEEN HOW THE SYSTEM WAS BENDIN' 'EM OVER AND THE WHOLE JOINT, COAST 2 COAST, WAS THEN A TINDERBOX. IF ORANGE MAN WOULD'VE HAD HIS WAY, NONE OF THIS - AND I MEAN NONE OF IT - WOULD BE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, AND WE'D BE NO BETTER OFF THAN WE WERE. BUT IT DID HAPPEN, AND WE'VE TAKEN OUR OWN "GREAT LEAP FORWARD." AND JUST BECAUSE WE CELEBRATEN THE FACT, DO NOT ASSUME THIS MEANS WE CELEBRATEN THE MINNIE MAN'S DATH. WE AIN'T. WOULD NEVER. COULD EVER. REST IN POWER, GF. BUT DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE OF THIS PROGRESS. IS WE HAPPY GEORGE FLOYD WAS MURDERED ON LIVE TV? NO, OF COURSE NOT. DOES WE THINK IT WAS WORTH IT, CONSIDERING WE TURNED THE COUNTRY ON FIRE AND GOT TONS OF COPS FIRED FROM THEY JOBS AND CHARGED WIT CRIMES. SORRY, YAH. I MEAN, THE MAN GOT A GOLDEN CASKET AND EVEN THAT RACIST MAYOR KNEEL'D DOWN AND CRIED BEFORE IT, ASHAMED OF WHAT HE DONE AND WHAT ALL WHITE PEOPLE DONE, NO DOUBT. WHOEVER SNUCK AND CAUGHT THAT VIDEO OF HIM, BIG UPS. HAD HE KNOWN HE WAS GONNA BE SEEN ON CAMERA DOIN' THAT, CRYIN' AT THE DEAD BLACK MAN'S FUNERAL, HE'D OF PROBABLY JUST SENT FLOWERS. SEE THIS IS A WAR. IN A WAR, SOME PEOPLE GONNA DIE, IT'S THAT SIMPLE. SOME OF US DON'T EVEN KNOW WE AT WAR. SOME OF US IS JUST BUYING CIGARETTES WITH A TRICK $20, SITTIN' BEHIND THE WHEEL AND ENJOYIN' THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE PERSONAL MEDICINES WE GOTTA TAKE. THEN, BAM. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU BEEN DRAFTED INTO THE WAR AND YOU ON THE FRONT LINES. BUT THIS TIME, THE COUNTRY HAD STUDIED THE ISSUE LONG ENOUGH TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THEY HAD THE TIME THEY NEEDED TO GET EDUCATED, SAW WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY, THINK IT OVER CAREFULLY; THEN MAKE A DECISION TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR A CHANGE AND GET OFF THEY LAZY ASSES, GRAB A FEW TOOLS, MASK-UP AND SET FIRE TO THE COMMUNITY. IT'S TIME TO GO OUT AND DO INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND TO THINK. GET IN THE CAR, ANYBODY'S CAR (DON'T MATTER) OR GO OUT AND BLOCK TRAFFIC, 'CAUSE IT'S TIME TO EITHER BLOCK TRAFFIC OR RUN OVER SOMEONE TO GET WHERE WE GOIN'. Y'ALL, WE EARNED IT. TAKE A BREAK. TAKE A STAND. TAKE A KNEE. TAKE A NAP. FK IT, IT'S SUMMER.
when word of the p-dem-ic's arrival here reached us in late January, we were, just like most people, more or less indifferent. it wasn't instantly a major concern. Like most people, we put our faith in Nancy Pelosi. As one of the eldest, most-trusted and adored American Stateswomen of all time, she represented a solidity (albeit an elegant one!), but she always had a way of making it clear that she was also working on levels that we couldn't comprehend. for example, no one quite understood why she chose to hold onto the articles of impeachment after moving forward so efficiently early on with the complicated process which we all knew would result in T---p's removal from office. "You've got him in your sights," we thought. "Pull the trigger, Nancy!" With Pence undoubtedly dirty as all hell, just like his Russian asset dumbbell boss, wrapped up in what we knew, even then, was the most corrupt administration our country (and perhaps ANY country) had ever seen, we figured Nancy Pelosi would soon be sitting in the most powerful seat in the world, the first woman President of the United States of America. And it might've been all of this that took our eyes off of the coming plague. As John Lennon said, Life is what happens when you're making other plans. But the "life" that happened to us, though it involved a lot of death, is the essence of life itself. like a hot iron cauterizing a wound all infected with pus, the novel virus scorched our flesh but, in the end, has left us pure. It's a little embarrassing how long it's taking us to realize it. Sometimes, I'll admit, I sort of forget the good news myself for a few moments, like when you've won the lottery and you're a billionaire, but still walk towards the bus stop out of habit. But then I remember where we are, and relief feels like a physical charge inside my body, animating visions of the days to come, the challenges our government will face on our behalf, the adjustment of our currency becoming worthless. as we continue to simply stay alive as this storm rages full-force with no signs of stopping; as we drop our spontaneous expressions of our immense gratitude to our medical personnel in favor of giving is all up, together, as a city, during one supercharged minute of screaming ourselves horse every night at 7pm; as we sit idle in our homes and comfortably forget about all the things that don't matter anymore -- all the habits and dubious pleasures of our old lives and relationships -- as we simply wait to be told the answer to a question which hardly nags us anymore, "What's next?".... During THIS time, when money isn't exactly an issue because we can't work; our social lives can't be improved because we can't go out; the "retail therapy" we secretly and shamefully relied on to cheer us up on gloomy days has been quietly (and, truth be told, rightfully) removed from our table, just as a loving and wise parent might swoop in and deftly snatch that pint of mint chocolate chip we were greedily working our way through. And when the reality of the moment comes over me, I'm stunned by how complete I finally feel. Whoever could've dreamed of such a paradise, with so little to think about and so much time to think it (or not). For now, we only focus on being safe. In the realest of ways, safety is our only responsibility. Some people will think it's a little weird that I never take my mask off, that I sleep with a mask on, that when I eat alone, I work the fork around the side of it, instead of just lowering it for a few minutes. But they don't understand. The mask is all I have and, more importantly, it's all I ever want or hope to have.
we've been off for a couple of weeks as our living situations have changed. And now, quarantined. Scared. Frightened. Afraid. We wait with our fears while the bright light screens, calmmmmmm theeeee sheepppppp pleeeeeee.
While 2 Woke 2 F. is taking a minute to get its shit together and record an episode, here's a completely different podcast. Let me know what you think.
